E24
Balay E24 on a dishwasher: water is not draining properly
Risk level
Low
Usually safe to check without specialist tools.
Urgency
Medium
Quick answer
The dishwasher is not draining properly. Balay lists three causes you can check: drain hose kinked or blocked, siphon connection still closed or drain pump cover loose. Unplug it before you start.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- If there is water in the tub, unplug the appliance and scoop it out into a container before removing the filter, so the floor stays dry.
Safe checks you can perform
- Drain hose free of kinks
- Siphon connection open
- Drain pump cover locked in place
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Measure the pump if there is no blockage
- Do not attempt this professional task: Inspect the internal drain circuit

Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Drain hose free of kinks
- Who:
- you, with the appliance off and unplugged.
- How:
- follow the drain hose from the appliance to the siphon and lay it without folds or crushing.
- Result that matters:
- that water can flow out freely.
- If it was kinked:
- straighten it and run a programme.
- If it is fine:
- check the siphon connection.
- Evidence to keep:
- photo of the hose before and after.

Siphon connection open
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- look at the siphon spigot where the hose enters; on a new installation check that its blanking cap was removed.
- Result that matters:
- that the siphon lets water through.
- If it was closed:
- open it and test.
- If it is open:
- check the pump cover.
- Evidence to keep:
- photo of the siphon spigot.

Drain pump cover locked in place

- Result that matters:
- that the cover is firm.
- If it was loose:
- lock it in place and refit the filter.
- If it was fine and the code remains:
- call Balay's official service.

What it means
Balay explains that E24 warns that the drain hose is blocked (lay it without kinks), that the siphon connection is still closed (open it if needed) or that the drain pump cover is loose (lock it in place). These are installation or assembly problems, not a failed part. If all three checks are fine and the code remains, the drain needs technical inspection: the code does not tell them apart.
